Tommy Conlon Returns To The Cage
Emma dropped the newspaper on Tommy’s lap and continued walking into the living room. She let out a soft groan as she sank into the worn leather couch. All the extra weight the brunette had been carrying in her abdomen was finally taking a toll on her back. Walking from the apartment to the gym was even pushing it.
Tommy’s eyes scanned over the paper before dropping it on the table and sighed. “Are you going to seriously give me a hard time about this? You knew I was planning on going back.” The fighter moved into the living room and sat on the other end of the couch, pulling his wife’s feet into his lap.
A soft whimper turned moan escaped from between Emma’s lips as Tommy kneaded his strong hands over her sore, swollen feet. “I just thought it would be common courtesy to give your seven month pregnant wife a heads up before she found out from some shitty newspaper.” Emma pushed aside the naughty thoughts about her husband as he continued to massage her feet and managed to scowl slightly.
“Babe come on... It’s just a few fights. I’ll fly down to Florida and be back before you know it.”
Emma couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Yeah? You know, that sounds really familiar... ” She sneered pulling her feet away, “Sounds a lot like when you went to Vegas, doesn’t it? Can you remind me how that ended?”
Tommy stared at his wife for a moment before deciding her question didn’t warrant a response. Emma watched as her husband got off the couch with a scowl on his face and left the room. She shook her head before reaching for a pregnancy magazine Tess had dropped off earlier in the week.
The brunette knew it was a low blow but couldn’t help but feel slightly betrayed that even after nearly two decades together, Tommy was hiding things from her. She slowly pulled herself off the couch, dropping the magazine half way through an article about the pros and cons of breast feeding and waddled over to the balcony, pulling open the sliding door.
She wrapped her arms around his midsection the best she could and ran her nails down his stomach gently. “I’m sorry for bringing it up.” Sometimes backing down was the only way to solve their issues.
The fighter twisted in her grip and cupped her swollen belly with his rough hands. There was a swift kick to the left side of her stomach causing Tommy to chuckle and Emma to grimace. “I’m sorry, too.”
“Only two more months and it won’t be just you and me anymore, Tommy.” She gipped his bulging biceps and smiled.
“If something happens, you and I can always share a hospital room. That way, no matter what condition I’m in, I’ll be there when Junior is born.” Tommy let out a deep chuckle as he rubbed a small circle with his left hand where the baby had just kicked.
The brunette gave a short laugh and reached up, patting Tommy’s cheek, “You aren’t very funny.”
